yvette had to reply before i sign off this morning...whatever your son has said he doesn't mean it ..from the age of 13 to i would say 20 i was an awful child...moods tantrums etc.i too left home for a week with no word to my mother...i was fighting my own demons and thatwas hormones.my parents also split up which outside no one could see but outside i was gutted...i bet in a few days time he will have calmed down and will make contact.the best advice i can give is let him have his own space and things will get better between you both...i am a parent also and even though i try to understand and try to pick up when things are wrong but we too are human and can't always know ...take care email me if you need me.love and hugsxxxxxxxx((((:

I hope he contacts you soon Yvette, but he is 19 and in the eyes of the law he is a man. He will cope I am sure, he is just cooling off. Does he have problems that have caused him to react like this, at work/college for example. Or is he perhaps mixing with the wrong crowd or got girlfriend trouble? Hopefully it will get sorted.

Yvette there is an old saying * They break your arms when they are babies,and your heart when they grow up * Its sure to be the truth,but we love them just the same. I hope it sorts itself out soon. ((((((HUGS))))))

Hope you're all doing ok Yvette. Not much of a comfort but I think you're a great Mum. Loads of love, becx

Yvette, So sorry you're going through all this - you're a lovely person and really don't deserve this. Hope everything works out for you all. Paul xx

Hi Yvette, Sorry to hear you've been having a bad time since you've been back home. I can't speak as a parent but from what you've described, it must be a worrying and a far from pleasant time right now for you and Mal. Hope you hear from him soon. A belated Happy Birthday to you as well as I haven't been around here much of late. Andy x

Yvette.....I know it is no consolation but I have been through all this with my youngest daughter. From the age of 13 to 19 she was really horrible. She played truant,, she ran away from home so many times that in the end we gave up looking for her, she hated us and thought we were the worst parents in the world. She got up to all sorts of things. We were absolutely bewildered by her behaviour... she was a complete alien to us. For years I blamed myself thinking if I had handled situations differently everything would have been O.K. At the age of 20 she had a son and came back home to live and from that time on, with one or two minor exceptions, we have been so close. We have talked about her teenage years and even she doesn't understand what happened to her. This message is to let you know that it does pass and he will return to the lovely son he was. You just have to give him space and time and whatever you do don't blame yourself. Love and hugs to you and Mal. Jean x.

((((HUG)))) for you, Yvette. Take care, hope things are better soon. x

Yvette Thinking of you, as I am going thru similar with my 13 year old. Take care and hope things sort themselves out real soon. Kim x

Any news yet or have I missed another thread?

Penny, Yvette did do an update, it's probably slipped away now. I believe her son came home and said he would start to look for his own place. She was very relieved. Sorry that I can't remember the thread title. Maz. XX

Sorry to hear your news. Do you think your son is too embarrased to come home, if he's not made contact during the week already? He may feel he can't come home as you'd still be angry with his behaviour as he is ashamed of what he did; but not realise that you'd welcome him back and you still love him and just want to know that he's ok. Is there a way to get a message to the parents of his friends at a time that he'd be likely to be out down the pub for example, so that you could have a quiet word with them by phone so that if they saw him they could pass on the message it is Ok to come home? Even if it is just to let him know he could pop back to chat and let you know he's ok or met up somewhere, if he has made his decisions about what he wants to do. How about ringing the local pubs where he goes to see if anyone has seen him? Can you ring his boss to see if he has been turning up for work or studies etc? Let us know how you are keeping. Claire

Claire read maz reply below yours Elaine x

That's great to hear! I'm glad he's safe. Claire
